Liberals have consistently abused Christian teaching to attack free enterprise and spread socialism. Evangelii Gaudium is only their latest opportunity. Most are not really Christians at all, but rather only leftists hoping to fool enough Christians to tip the balance politically.

Obama’s use of the Pope’s words to justify his socialist income redistribution schemes is another demonstration of just how cynical Obama and his secular liberal allies are. To them Christianity isn’t a wholly formed worldview with salvation through Jesus Christ at the center, it is merely a smorgasbord to which they can belly up once in a while to choose a few morsels that support their agenda.
